Politano Eliminates Aoki

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a blind on blind confrontation, Mikiyo Aoki was all in with her tournament on the line holding {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} vs Bruno Politano's {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

The flop was safe for Aoki as it came the {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. But the turn would not be safe as the {q-Clubs} peeled off to pair the Brazilian. The river was the {6-Hearts} to end Aoki's deep run.

Marquez Gets a Double Through Spinella

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ana Marquez
Ana Marquez

Ana Marquez got her last 880,000 in from the button, and Anthony Spinella called in the small blind.

Ana Marquez: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Anthony Spinella: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

"That's not a good flop," Spinella said after the {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop gave Marquez a flush draw, and Spinella was left drawing dead once the {3-Spades} fell on the turn. He sent about 40% of his remaining stack over to Marquez after the {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Garg Gets Lucky To Double Through Remmel

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Lokesh Garg ripped his last 1.16 million in from the cutoff, and Ian Remmel called on the button.

Lokesh Garg: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Ian Remmel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The table gasped when the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop spiked trips for Garg and left Remmel looking for running cards to score the knockout. The {6-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river bricked off, and Garg doubled up.

Musgrave survived on a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board to secure the double.

Karamalikis Gets There Again, Takes Out Another

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shortly after eliminating Aaron Massey, Jonathan Karamalikis was in another all-in situation with a chance to bust another player.

This time it was Richard Wolf who was left to sweat for his tournament as his {8-}{8-} was slightly ahead of the {a-}{q-}.

The flop was disastrous for Wolf though as it came {9-}{a-}{a-}. The board and river were both sixes to shut the door on Wolf's run.

New Table, No Problem for Albertson

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cory Albertson, who still had his chips in racks from moving to a new table, raised to 180,000 from early position, only to be met with a three-bet to 375,000 from Michael Matrone next to act. Action folded back to Albertson, who called.

Both players checked the {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, and Matrone checked out of turn when the {7-Hearts} fell on the turn.

"I haven't acted," Albertson informed Matrone, before betting 400,000. Matrone called.

Albertson verbalized a bet of 1.3 million when the {5-Diamonds} hit the river, and Matrone called, rolling over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Albertson had that beat with his {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}, however, and shipped the pot.
